|  Paintball is many thing
        to many people. Ask one player to describe paintball and
        he would use words like -"Nonstop Action,
        Exhilarating, Aggression, Adrenalin rush " Ask
        anther paintball player and you will hear words like -
        "Strategies, Survival, Elimination, Risk" So to
        them, the average "Joe" the paintball player,
        Paintball is about a exhilarating nonstop adrenalin rush
        game of risk, were you use aggression along with
        strategies for your survival so you'll not be eliminated!
        Say what ? What are they talking about? I'm new. Well
        like I said, Paintball is many things. You just can't use
        one word for it. But if you must, - that word just maybe
        - Anticipation --Why this word ? I can think of better
        words, you say. True, but its more of a feeling then a
        word - Anticipation of what is going to happen in a game.
        Anticipation of a sleepless night before a big tournament
        game. Anticipation of Whose behind a bunker or bush.
        Anticipation of the sting of a close hit. Anticipation of
        winning or loosing. But its the Anticipation of the word
        "GAME ON" that gets your heart pumping with
        adrenalin and a new awareness that everyone, must
        experience for them self. Paintball is an exhilarating
        sport. It is filled with anticipations of strength,
        speed,and prowess. Playing paintball heights the senses.
        Trying to survive a game with out getting hit is an
        unimaginable rush. Paintball is merely a recreation of
        certain aspect of the real world, You live you die and
        pay taxes - in place of taxes, you pay for you equipment,
        which you pay Taxes on. It also has the elements of real
        combat and hunting, but is channel in to a
        "safe" sport were you can kill with out killing
        someone or something. Death is not permanent in this
        sport, But it has the feeling of death and that's what
        makes this sport so fun. That is paintball to me. But you
        say "I'm a Newbie to the sport and I still do not
        know what paintball is?" I say to that person,
        "Paintball is an exciting version of capture the
        flag or Tag. The game is played with two opposing teams
        competing utilizing Co2 Paintball Markers which propel a
        non-toxic washable gelatin capsule. When the paintball
        breaks on your opponent, he or she is eliminated. The
        game is won by successfully returning the opponent's flag
        to your team's flag station or eliminating all of your
        opponents." Or you can say, Shoot players on the
        other team, and don't let them shoot you.
